Searching for Numbers
Many of our clients come to us because it has become too expensive to advertise or do any type of SEO on Google and the other major search engines. How dominant is Google in this area? Well, in the month of May, Google accounted for over 68% of the search activity in the U.S. Yahoo was second with just under 20% of the search activity. MSN and Ask.com combined for 10% of the search activity. (Yes, if you are good at math, that leaves less than 2% of all searches for all the other search engines) By the way, if you think Google dominates here, you should look “across the pond” where Google accounted for 87% of the U.K. search activity in May. So, if you are frustrated with dealing with the dominant players, please let us do the “heavy lifting” and we will continue providing great leads in our marketplace.
